Music to my ears

Music...it rocks. But, to me...only certain kind of music rocks. Some people like it all...some people only like the whine of a steal guitar, and others only like hip hop.

I love Elvis, The Beatles, Pearl Jam, U2, Coldplay, The Cure...I could list 100 more.

One thing I have never done is play kid music in my car. Ever since E was born....we have listened to the "normal" radio.

Pretty sure I listened to Eddie Vedder pretty loud when I had the bun in the oven.....

One kind of music I do not enjoy is "teenager pop."

Didn't even like it when I was a teenager. In my teen years....it was the New Kids on the Block.

Truthfully...I can think of nothing worse. Oh, maybe Hootie and the Blowfish....that being the band that if it comes on....A. Leave the room or B. Change the station.

When I was a kid, I listened to the music my parents liked. Pretty sure that is why I like Elvis and The Beatles.

We were in the car today....and an Elvis Christmas carol came on. My kid started dancing....and singing....she said "I really like him!" That made me smile....

We have had that same experience with Led Zeppelin, Pearl Jam, U2, and a few others.

So, I will continue to keep my fingers crossed that my daughter will follow in my footsteps.

Because I am pretty sure I couldn't handle listening to Miley Cyrus in the car.....or anywhere for that matter.

Needless to say....when my kid perks up to classics, and to songs that ARE really good....it makes me think the odds may be in my favor.

Think my Mom of the Year award is in the mail? Voted best Mom for letting her 2 year old listen to Led Zeppelin and Pearl Jam?

Hey....it could be worse....like Miley Cyrus worse. ;)

For those who adore her....sorry....different strokes....right?
